The II a s s a y a m per Tally Book Gleanings Class History As I turn the pages of memory and gaze at the once vivid pictures I realize that the High School career of the CLASS of ’28 has been completed hut that many more of the acts of life are yet to be produced. We may fail or succeed yet the memories of our school life will remain with us always. I find that it was in 1!124 that we arrived at the High School Rancho located in Prescott, Arizona. Our first act was to veil Rah! Rah! Rah! Preshies. We were only dudes, ignorant of the life on a rancho and our yells echoed and reechoed like the cries of ambushed Apaches. Our baggage was heavy and consisted of a great deal of material which we afterwards found to he of no use. Like all dudes we were dressed ‘fit to killr and seemed to think that we must show self confidence. One of the Juniors was heard to remark, “Wait until the Foreman (Miss Cole- man) lays eyes on this outfit, won’t they calm down and be as meek as kittens.” The first day passed without mishap for us but by the end of the week we had brain fag. Other cowmen (faculty members) showed us our bunks in the study hall, told us where to go during each hour of the day and instructed us generally. We soon got onto tin way of things and found that we were greater tenderfoots than we had suspected. One day the Foreman lined us up for a good lecture on the rules and regulations of the rancho. She told us why we were there, not for a good time but for work. If we followed the rules we would be able to ride our allotment of bronchos (examinations) without mishap and by the end of the four years would be ready to ride anything in the line of education. We soon learned that the neighboring ranchmen were in the habit of coming to our ranch, and expected us to visit theirs, for the purpose of en- gaging in various sports. We became keenly interested in these sports and did our best to bring our men out of these contests in a victorious manner. During the first year on the rancho we tried to bring fame to our outfit. None of us made the football team but we fought just the same. Later on one of our members made the basketball squad so you see we were in line for fame. The freshman dudes also won the Inter Class Basketball this year. In a social way we couldn’t be beaten and we began to feel prouder and prouder of our outfit. After riding, roping and bull dogging various courses known as alebra, English, history and general science for an entire year most of us became Sophomore dudes. Geometry bull dogging took the place of algebra bull dogging but English still continued to defy us. Spanish also came to haunt our dreams. T njr« Twenty-seven
